Christianity Oasis Forum

[Guest]

Before I was led to this site I was strugeling with forgiveness of myself. I also was strugeling with porn addiction and drinking. I was in and out of my daily walk with God because I did not want to give up drinking. Then I finally hit bottom, or so I thought, I ask God to direct me in the way He wanted too,I told Him I could no longer control myself and that I no longer want to do things on my own. I happened to be looking up free counseling on the internet and this site was the first to pop up. I signed up and started doing the 14 day step program and wright in the journal that everyone sees. That made me nervous at first but it turned out to be a real blessing because of all the encouragement and advise I got from everyone. But then something happened. There was a family function and I let my guard down and got drunk. I messed up so bad that even my mom would not talk to me. I gave in to the sins of porn again and my computer got wiped out. Now I know I really hit bottom. I almost gave up for good but I had this feeling coming through me like God telling me not to give up. It took me a week to come to my senses but I finally repented and I came back to oasis. I had to use another computer of course.

I confessed my faults to everyone here and the love and encouragement that everyone showed me was a blessing because it helped to lift me up again. God had to bring me to a point that would wake me up. I now realise that My drinking was interfering with my relationship with God because when I drink I get more brave then I sin a lot more. Thank God for being such a stern Father.

In the last few weeks my life has changed I no longer have the need to drink, and I am doing good with the porn thing too. I believe that God took these things from me because this time when I asked Him to take it away I meant it from my heart. Also My mom is speaking to me again and I might have found a church home.

Here's the thing, if we give in to this world and give up every time something bad happends, we will never over come. GOd will help if we just allow him too. He never said that christians would live unhurtfull and easy lives but He did say that He would help us through this life if we trust in Him and keep the faith. We are forgiven and need to just get back up when we fall. Until Jesus comes for us there will always be pain and suffering but with Gods help He will see us through.

Heres something I learned from this awsome sight called Christianity Oasis. LET GO AND LET GOD.

LET GO (of your problem) and LET GOD (remove it)
One day at time

GBU and remember YOU ARE FORGIVEN
may God continue to keep you and bless on your walk with Him.

Luv in Christ B.B.B.

ahh..how awesome our Lord and Saviour is. What a beautiful testimony He has given, my brother. It's so true...when we seek Him, He will take those things we have bound ourselves in and replace them with His mercy, Grace and unconditional love.

Keep shining, my friend. Let His light shine through you.

in Jesus,
luv momo

Thank you for posting this testimony of God's Grace in your life.

We dont come to the Lord as perfect beings. Neither do we become perfect beings when we accept Him into our lives. The change within our hearts, having a Christ-like mind, our spiritual growth... all of it is gradual and does not happen overnight. It is a process and like a baby learning how to walk, we will stumble time and time again. All part of the process and our struggles work to draw us closer to the Lord for when we are weak we allow God to be our strength, rather than trying to do it all on our own which of course never works.

I believe God led you here for healing... but I also believe He has more in store for you here at this ministry. May His will be done.

And may He continue to lead your steps closer to Him.
